1981 2wd blazer rebuild

[rigon4]

So the body on my old blazer was rotted beyond repair so I cut up the body but saved the frame a couple years back. Well a couple months back I found a clean blazer at a good price and dragged it home. Here is the starting point

Frame cleaning and prep for POR-15

I hope to swap the body off the 4x4 frame on the 2wd frame this weekend!

Subscribed! Should be a fun build. Looking forward to following along. I've been thinking about converting my 4wd K5 to 2wd.

It looks familiar.

well I swapped the body over and hoping to get more work done but working on two trucks at the same time it seems like nothing gets done
